I run Coopers myself but dont plan on doing this with them!

Clever idea from the advertising boffins at BFG though!

I thought it would have been quicker to just get the one off the back door ?

Sorry mate but I think the 8 second free fall would be faster, by the time the jeep owner got out the manual to find out where the spare is and all the crappy supplied tools needed they would more than likely given up and called racq

That's not true actually, the back doors are notoriously weak. So if they were on a bumpy road (not off road, it would break down before then), the tyre would fall off along with half of the back door.

I'm surprised that of all things, it was the tyre and wheel that needed replacing on that jeep...
:blowup:

I'm surprised, that they didn't drop the Jeep.

"Our toughest all terrain tyre yet"

So the jeep needed a tyre replacement. Reading between the lines, did they

a) replace a 'failed' cooper tyre or
b) fit a cooper replacement which was at odds with the three 'other brand' tyres?

Good to know that I can drop my car out of a plane and my tyres will survive the impact.....cool!
